I'm from the Philippines. Particularly in Tacloban, if you're familiar, the one that has been hit by Typhoon Haiyan/Yolanda. Yes, we have private dental clinics here and it's where I'm more comfortable to go whenever I'm pained. And we also have dentist in Public Hospitals, where you pay much lesser, no dentist's fee and payment is just for the anesthesia. But, so far, those private clinics nor the public hosp. that I've visited, none of them owns an X Ray machine. They would have to reffer a certain lab and maybe, that's the reason why their first choice is to prescribe antibiotics than to let me get an X Ray.

Feels like the new antibiotic prescribed yesterday, still has no effect. I just took pain reliever cos I am in deep ache at the moment.

Wish I could find a good Oral Surgeon tomorrow or would it be better if I would just get an X Ray and look for a new dentist to let him read it?
